1063 Tracer 2

Imagine a series of fighter jets including the Allies, including the dromedary, Newport, DH Haverland, etc., and the prince couldn't help but like this plane! Let the Allies taste the dilemma of the unfavorable high altitude of the Luftwaffe Air Force in World War II first! This is a very fulfilling feeling! Of course, this technological advantage is only temporarily. After all, before the end of World War I in history, the British planes could fly nearly 5,000 meters, and there was also an engine with a power out of the charts. A single 300 to 400 horsepower engine could push the plane to this height no matter how you can push the plane to this height! What is the saying in later generations? As long as the engine is good, the refrigerator can go to the sky! (For example, the P47 and F6F. Something without beauty is still my pirate domineering aura!)

In short, in terms of flight performance, if you want this aircraft to turn around, it is probably not OK to fight dogs, but in terms of speed and flight performance of more than 2,000 meters (you can play with a single-engine aircraft for more than 3,000 meters), this aircraft can crush fighters of the same level. In short, the essence of using this aircraft is to climb, dive, and then kill you in one wave, and leave if you can't kill.

By the way, the most important thing about this aircraft is to fight bombers. In addition to speed and altitude, it also requires sufficient firepower. Therefore, after Prince had made up countless large 4-round bombers that had existed and never existed in history, under the prince's fraud and coaxing, German designers equipped this aircraft with 6 12.7MM large-caliber machine guns! Moreover, in order to obtain the best walking ability and the strongest frontal firepower, these machine guns were all installed on the front of the aircraft!

Maybe someone said that it is not easy for this aircraft to be equipped with 6 50 machine guns? It’s like this for one aircraft in 2 battles! What’s more, isn’t this a twin-engine aircraft? This is right, but you have to know that the maximum take-off weight of the K-4 is not even higher than that of the FW190A3! The latter’s normal air combat take-off weight is 3,800 kg, and the normal take-off weight of the K-4M is only 2,500KG! The strength and structure of the fuselage cannot be compared with the propeller aircraft in 2 battles.

Then you have to install 6 M2 machine guns. You should know that in history, the refrigerator as big as the P47 is not right, it is an aircraft. After 8 50 machine guns are installed on the wing, you must use a shock absorber to reduce vibration. If you are in the condition of 1 battle, if you dare to install so many weapons on the wing, the plane will fall apart as soon as you fire!

Therefore, how to install 6 M2 machine guns on the front of an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of only 2 tons under the conditions of World War I and ensure that it can fire at the same time is definitely a very big engineering problem! In the end, the German engineer decided to arrange firepower and increase the length of the aircraft's nose, which can accommodate 4 12.7MM machine guns on one side. At the same time, one for every two machine guns is made of a common frame. There is actually a faint delay when shooting, so as to ensure that the four machine guns cannot form resonance when firing. Two machine guns are on the upper part of the nose, and the other two are on the lower part, with each machine gun having 400 rounds.

It is impossible to put the other two machine guns into the nose again. Install them on the wings?! Look at the planes in World War I, are they placed on the wings? So, after some confusion, at the top of the upper wing, the Germans set up two additional large-caliber machine guns. The reserve capacity of these two machine guns is 200 rounds.

From the perspective of firepower layout, the best firepower is deployed on the front of the nose. In fact, the German fighter jets in World War II have never given up on the head deployment of weapons from the BF109 at the beginning to the FW190 at the later time and the TA152. The nose weapons and the weapons on the two wings can form the best shooting walk. Although the United States and Britain cannot do this, they still place firepower on the noses of twin-engine aircraft such as P38 and DH98. After the end of World War II, the initial jet aircraft also tended to install weapons at the nose. There is no way, so it is good to take a walk! Of course, in order to accommodate the nose machine gun, some price will definitely be paid. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

"As long as you pull the trigger, you will be enough to knock any enemy into a sieve in ten seconds!" When the first batch of trainers were delivered, the factory technicians explained to the pilots in this way. It was indeed terrifying to spray more than 50 caliber bullets of 50 caliber bullets in one second.

In order to improve hunting efficiency, the K-4M Tracer aircraft is the first type of fighter in the Luftwaffe that is generally equipped with radio devices! The personnel in the back seat are radio operators and rear-firing machine gunners (there is a 50 machine gun or 2 MG machine guns in the back seat are responsible for dealing with the fighter jets in the rear.) The Tracer fighter is like a lion preparing to hunt an elephant. Even if it has the advantage of speed and firepower, the other party is an elephant after all. Anything that grows to an elephant can give people a terrifying feeling.

Therefore, in order to ensure efficient search and hunting, it is necessary to equip the trainer with radio equipment. Although the reliability and performance of radios in this era are also synonymous with scams, it is always much better than communications, right? Besides, what if it works?!

"Ask the Russians will come here on the 3rd?" The telegrapher sitting in the back seat asked the Red Baron in the front seat after receiving the telegram from a friendly army.

"According to our research, it should be encountered. The Russian Ilya heavy bomber troops were stationed in two places, one of which is the north of the city under our feet. It would be the best if the airport could be blown up, but unfortunately, we are not bombers. Although their range is very large, they must take a fixed line if they want to support the Russian army in depth or suppress our rear. We are almost finished bombing, and all squadrons are evacuating, and the Russians should think it is safe."

"Of course, the most important reason is that we intercepted their telegram, which said that the spacecraft troops would attack today." The last sentence of the Red Baron was undoubtedly a reassurance. Now it is stable! Sometimes, military operations must obey political needs. For example, the Allied Air Force has put your logistics nodes. If you don't realize the existence of your own air force, then what do the infantry on the front line think? What do the big men of the army think? Therefore, even today when the air power of the Allied Power has greatly strengthened, the Russian "spaceships" will come out to carry out bombing missions.
